Good game? I think I may have played it once. One came up semi-local at $500. Says displays stopped working recently.

Seriously, though, that pin has a great soundtrack, great light show, and easy to use, hard to master ruleset. It's FAST, unforgiving & rewarding all at once.

I'm hooked on mine. My wife has the high score right now at 5.2 million. I'm in 3rd, and gaining. :cool:
 
I haven't fixed mine up yet so I can't give a good opinion. But I can recommend the Pinscore displays. $200 for all 5 of them plus the controller and they look good.

If all else works you would be into the game at $700 which is a good deal for that game. That is, of course, if you pay full price....
 
Robot theme, robot speech, weird music, weird Python Anghelo art. Some will say its too simple, I love System 11 games and this one is my favorite pin of all time.

When it was a new game I played it so stoned that it was the only thing holding me up. Perhaps that damaged my judgement, but what the hell ya gonna do?
 
I've only ever played it on the Williams Collection for Wii and PS3 and it is an excellent game. Get it.

If you know anyone who owns the Williams Collection game on console, go visit them and try it out for yourself. From what I hear the real table doesn't drain down the sides as often as the console simulation of it does.
 
I had a Pinbot and Highspeed for about 10 years, just sold them both last year. Pinbot is a good game, very cool and easy to learn the rules. If you can get one for that price it's a steal. I liked the Pinbot we had but people that came to my Arcade LOVED that pinball machine, wish i still had it.
 
Classic Playfields is re-popping the playfields right now, if that matters. Its a lot of money to put into a lower end pin, but I'm snagging one.
 
Totally worth the price! I have had mine for about 2 years now and it still gets a ton of play. Finally just got the pinscore displays, so my current highest score is only about 2.5 mil, but I am working on it. One of these days I will get to the damn sun. If you get there and it turns out that the top 2 displays work, I have the bottom 3 displays still from before I put the pinscores in, and they are available for sale.

Have you hit the Solar Value jackpot? Lock two balls, re-lock one, then hit the shot beneath the ramp?

Your high score sounds kinda low if you have hit that shot... If you have not, after all this time the value on your machine must be astronomical. It keeps building until someone hits it. Prepare for your high score to go from 2.5mil to 30 mil. :)

I can hit it pretty much every game now, so it never gets a chance to build.
 
Yeah I hit it the game I got the 2.5 mil. I think it was only valued around a mil or so. I gotta get some new batteries in it actually as I get the old adjust failure most of the time and everything resets, so thats my highest score within the last month or so, since I got the pinscores and can actually see what my score is lol.

I couldn't agree more. Pinbot is my first pin purchased from a local arcade some 20 years ago! Great game overall.
 
Pinbot

Did you ever hear back from the seller? I tried to contact them as well and didn't hear back. Great game for sure. Hope it wasn't a B.S. CL ad.
